As a fellow KZreadr I have to say I acknowledge the amount of time and energy it took to put such a awesome video together! Until you're a KZreadr, it's just kind of unknown how much work it actually is, so I applaud you for it! Awesome footage! Absolutely stunning and great narration! You earned a subscription! 🤘😎

The first few times inspired me to want to free dive, seeing this footage gives me the itch to go back 👏🏼 cant wait to be there again

that log that crosses the outflow at Ginnie has been there for over 50 years, as I can testify...I used to swim there in the '60's and remember it from those times long past...if you swim in the Sante Fe in the dry season the river itself is almost as clear as the springs. Large gar follow the currents, perhaps 6 feet long or more. ...

Little snek looks like a plain-bellied watersnake! While they aren't venomous, the WILL bite you if disturbed. They can be confused with a young Florida Cottonmouth snake, because the coloration can be similar. The cotton mouth IS venomous. Good rule of thumb with watersnakes is to just leave them and gently swim away, just in case!

Hey Joe! Great video as always. We liked the devils ear the best because of all the creatures. Speaking of creatures, that snake looks like it is a glossy crayfish snake (Regina rigida rigida). If you are ever in the Tampa area give us a shout. We would love to meet for a dive or hike or whatever.

i like the Ginnie Spring the most. I've never been there but i want to go there someday. I live in Germany so it is far away but one day i will buy a Plane Ticket, fly to Florida to experience it as well. What i think is crazy is the thing that the water is crystal clear on one side and then there is just like a wall that keeps them away from each other. Sure they mix a bit but not completely

What!! Never heard of it.. Went to Rock Springs a Ton of times.. my dad lived in Florida for the last 25yrs I lived there for 6 but often visited and Rock Springs was one of my favorite places. To bad I never heard of it.. but once again I was young.. gonna make it a point to go out there one day! Thanks for the Video

I live 1.5 hours from there. The river clarity depends on how much rain the area gets, if its not much the river itself is clear like the springs too, any rain and it starts to get dark quickly

u certainly have it together..! (great storied way of speaking.

Seriously amazing video dude!

Those snakes that Ginnie springs are everywhere. One swam over me while I was swimming in the river.

Little Devil is 38 feet max, but where you were diving, it is around 33-34 feet. There is no way this hole is 50 feet, you need to change your dive watch. There is also almost no current there.

Ugh I know how to swim and hold my breath but for some reason I'm scared to free dive. I wish I had a partner. I live literally an hour from Gennie Springs. This is where Zephyrhills water comes from and from the other springs in the area.
